Meet our Hygienists

Mary Jo – Dental Hygienist

My favorite part about being a hygienist is interacting and caring for my longtime patient's health care. I grew up with a father that was a pediatric dentist and orthodontist. I graduated from UW in 1987 with my bachelors and decided to pursue a career in DH so I then went back to school at Clark College in Vancouver.  Started as a DH in July 1991, have been at this office with the same folks for 26 years! I enjoy playing the violin. (Was a concert violinist in college.) Showing dressage horses at a national level, judging dressage shows and scent tracking competitions (“nose works”) with my beautiful Akita, I love camping, entertaining, cooking and spending time with family & friends.

Before I became a hygienist I spent time working in dentistry overseas. I love spending time with my four year old nephew, Cash and with my cat kids, Chase and Louie.
